Do people actually think Locke's dead? I seriously doubt that he's gone..
I think the 'Cazimir Effect' (duplicates) could come into play here - considering this was specifically specified in the episode (The Orchid/moving the island)..also Ben suggests that they need to bring his body back to the island..which leads me to be reminded of Christian and his role in the show. Also, the scene with Alpert in 'Cabin Fever' could also come into play..
However I think the cazimir effect could be the most possible direction they'd take - Locke could be two places at once..the duplicated bunny analogy wasn't for show methinks.
If I thought he was dead i'd be devasted right now..but I just don't see it..and if anything at least he lives for another 3 years (and will see out season 5..at the very least)
On a side-note, it would be interesting (imo), if future Locke has now become a Jacob-type on the island..unable to physically exist properly on the island because his other half is elsewhere. Not in any way canon, just speculating.
